📩 Title:
Bring Back “Auto-Lock Secure Folder After Exiting Apps” Option
📄 Message:
Hi Samsung Team,
I really value the Secure Folder feature for keeping my private data safe, but after updating to One UI 8, I noticed that Secure Folder no longer auto-locks immediately after exiting an app.
This used to be a key privacy and security behavior — every time we closed an app or switched out, Secure Folder locked itself right away. It protected users from accidental exposure, especially when lending the phone or switching tasks quickly.
Now, Secure Folder stays unlocked until manually locked or after a long idle period. This change reduces privacy and makes the feature less secure for users who relied on instant lock.
Please consider bringing back the “Auto-lock Secure Folder after exiting each app” option, or at least make it a toggle in Settings so users can choose how it behaves.
Many Samsung users value privacy and would really appreciate this small but important feature returning.
Thank you for listening and always improving One UI!
Best regards,
[A Concerned Samsung User]

For me there is more issue in one ui 8 other than secure folder. Similarly issue for me is that I need to enable screen lock only for using secure folder in which I don't want to enable screen lock using for secure folder.
